Non-members may now join figure model sessions!  MAA Figure Model Sundays continues!  The Montgomery Art Association and The Compass Atelier are partnering to offer in-person figure model sessions on select Sundays. The 3-hour sessions are moderated but uninstructed, providing artists with focused practice time in the studio. Bring along any drawing or painting media that suits you.

Sessions will include short poses ranging from 2 to 15 minutes, with a final long pose lasting about an hour.  Models usually will be nude or semi-nude unless otherwise indicated in the event details below.  Beginning with our July 2024 sessions, both MAA members and non-members are welcome to register. MAA members may also register a non-member guest as well (the non-member price will apply). All attendees must be 18 years of age or older. 

We are offering morning AND afternoon sessions on each select Sunday. Morning sessions are 9:00 am to noon ET; Afternoon sessions are 1:00 pm ET to 4:00 pm ET.  

Cost of each session to register:

  • MAA members:  $10 per person, per session
  • Non-MAA members:  $20 per person, per session

If you're not able to join in person, we also offer a Zoom option.
